Formally known as Red Burn Viaduct, also known as Castlecary Viaduct, the Category B Listed structure http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB10520 was built in 1842 to carry the main Glasgow to Edinburgh railway line over the Red Burn, a function which it still serves today. The M80 motorway now also makes use of two of the eight arches.
